Brenden Aaronson got off the mark for Leeds United on the third time of asking as Jesse Marsch’s men put Chelsea to the sword with a 3-0 win at Elland Road.
The American – who is a self-proclaimed Liverpool fan (as reported by Goal) – handed the hosts the lead after the half-hour mark, pickpocketing Edouard Mendy in the six-yard box with some aggressive pressing Jurgen Klopp would have been proud of.

To top it all off, the 21-year-old emulated a current beloved figure in Bobby Firmino with a no-look goal from close range.
Able to feature on the right of front-three and as an attacking midfielder, we’ve no doubt many will be keeping a very close eye on the former RB Salzburg star after his latest outing.
